DESCRIPTION
       These routines give low-level access to various	Curses	functionality.
       They are typically used inside library routines.

       The def_prog_mode and def_shell_mode routines save the current terminal
       modes as the “program” (in Curses) or “shell” (not in Curses) state for
       use  by the reset_prog_mode and reset_shell_mode routines.  The initscr
       routine saves these states automatically.

       The reset_prog_mode and reset_shell_mode routines restore the  terminal
       to “program” (in Curses) or “shell” (out of Curses) state. Applications
       do not usually call these routines because the  endwin  and,  after  an
       endwin, doupdate routines automatically restore these states.

       The resetty and savetty routines save and restore the state of the ter‐
       minal modes. The savetty routine saves the current state in  a  buffer.
       The  resetty routine restores the state to what it was at the last call
       to savetty.

       The ripoffline routine provides access to the  same  facility  used  by
       slk_init	 to  reduce the size of the screen (see curs_slk(3)). Applica‐
       tions must call ripoffline before calling initscr or newterm.  If  line
       is  positive, ripoffline removes a line from the top of stdscr; if line
       is negative, the routine removes a line from the bottom of stdscr. When
       this  operation	is done inside initscr, the application calls the pro‐
       gram-supplied init routine with two arguments: a window pointer to  the
       one-line	 window that has been allocated and an integer with the number
       of columns in the window. Inside this initialization routine, the inte‐
       ger variables LINES and COLS (defined in <curses.h>) are not guaranteed
       to be accurate; therefore, the application must not  call  wrefresh  or
       doupdate.   However,  the  application can call wnoutrefresh during the
       initialization routine.

       The application can call ripoffline up to  five	times  before  calling
       initscr or newterm.

       The  curs_set  routine  sets the cursor visibility state to 0, 1, or 2,
       which correspond to invisible, normal, or very  visible,	 respectively.
       If  the terminal supports the requested visibility, the routine returns
       the previous cursor state; otherwise, the routine returns ERR.

       The napms routine causes the program to sleep for ms milliseconds.

NOTES
       The header file	<curses.h>  automatically  includes  the  header  file
       <stdio.h>.

RETURN VALUES
       The  curs_set  routine returns the previous cursor state, or ERR if the
       terminal does not support the requested visibility.

       The napms and ripoffline routines always return OK.

       The other routines return OK  upon  successful  completion;  otherwise,
       they return ERR.
